Hi my wifes yaris lost dash lights ,tail lights,fog lights and door open chime. After exhasting all Globes fuses and relay found light stalk the problem .when i pulled apart found contact finger was wedged open by a contact that dropped out and stopped finger closing. Ironicly the contact that dropped out was to push finger out and allow to return when needed. I had to bend finger out and re insert then bend finger back till i got adjustment correct again. Now all works fine. The only warnings are make sure battery disconnected and air bag in this region. And you dont want to short out and do more damage not to mention blow your head off. Another tip tail globes dont have to have broken filaments to be blown as can look good but still not work or work intermittantly. Hop this helps as cost me nothing to fix but time. This is why toyota should recall as could have shorted out and started fire or lost lights while night driving. Hope someone gets help as auto elec couldnt find problem so was up to me.
